This module extends the functionality of timesheets to support linking
them to preexisting invoices and to allow you to anticipate invoicing,
even before the work hours are actually done.
It also adds a warning alert on invoices that detects timesheets linked
to the invoice’s sale order lines that are not yet linked to any
invoice, allowing you to link them all at once or select them manually.
This module was developed because some people need to sell project hours
in advance, before they have been actually executed, but still want to
have normal traceability.
Odoo normally just links timesheet lines to invoices when they were
linked to a sale order line and, afterwards, that line is invoiced. But
if the invoice was done in advance, there’s no linking between the
timesheet and the invoice, and there’s no way to link them, not even
manually and not even when the invoice was already done in the past.
To use this module, you need to:
- Go to Timesheets / Timesheets / All Timesheets.
- Select the list view.
- Click on the icon in the top-right corner and display the column
Invoice.
- Link the timesheet lines with the invoices you want from the same
customer.
Additionally, when you open an invoice that has timesheets linked to its
sale order lines but not yet linked to the invoice itself, a warning
alert will appear at the top of the invoice form. From there you can:
- Click Link All to automatically link all pending timesheets to
this invoice.
- Click Select Manually to open a filtered list of pending
timesheets where you can select specific ones and click Link to
Invoice.
- Click Dismiss to hide the alert for this invoice.
